We had a terrific ZOOM today, with a guest presenter from Barrie House, to discuss the complimentary relationships and possible pairings of coffee and pipe tobacco. Very informative!
I smoked my new (it arrived in the mail just before the meeting) Morta pipe from ChamersburgPipe. It's a smooth, straight grained poker with a bamboo shank. I filled it with McClelland's No. 24, and it smoked great, right out of the box! No break-in necessary.
I enjoyed a mug of Barrie House Indonesian Sumatra to go with the Virginia tobacco. Very nice combo.
